Call of Duty: Vanguard campaign LOCKED for some players – here’s how to fix

CALL of Duty: Vanguard launched last week but some players are finding themselves locked out of the campaign.

The snafu is down to the game modes being split up to combat the Call of Duty series' notoriously large file sizes.

How to fix locked Call of Duty: Vanguard campaign from console dashboard

Call of Duty: Vanguard has been split into the base game, which is the multiplayer portion, while the campaign appears as add-ons.

This can easily be confused for DLC but they're necessary downloads if you want to play the campaign.

These campaign add-ons appear as 'Campaign 1' and 'Campaign 2' and total around 17GB.

To check whether they've been installed, highlight the game on your console dashboard and hit the start button.

Select 'Manage Game Content' and you'll be able to see the campaign add-ons, their file size, and whether or not they're installed.

If they've not been installed, you can kick off the process from here.
